Kiyonori Kikutake , born in 1928 in
Kurume, Japan, is one of forefront Japanese architects today. He is
well known as one of the original founders of Metabolism, a major Japanese
contribution to modern architectural philosophy. Recognized internationally
for his "Marine City Project" first proposed in 1958, he continues
to present floating system projects. As solution to problems associated
with high density urban centers, Kikutake has made proposals of high
